The Cape Town Festival, born out of the’One City, Many Cultures’ campaign, will be reaching out to the continent this year, in line with our country’s hosting of the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
Festival organisers are negotiating with popular African artists such as Angolan R&B singer Ansellmo Ralph and Nigerian Two Face Idibia, of African Queen fame to perform at Cape Town Festival 2010.
« This year’s festival will be bigger and better than ever before », said Cape Town Festival chairperson Ryland Fisher. « Our aim is to present a celebration that would make the people of Cape Town proud and showcase our beautiful city to the world. »
« By inviting popular artists from throughout the continent, we want to showcase Cape Town as a proudly African city. »
In 2009 the festival attracted more than 32 000 people over three days. This year’s festival will run over four days because of the Human Rights Day long weekend.
The dates for 2010’s festival are Friday 19 March until Monday 22 March. Human Rights Day is on Sunday 21 March, which means that Monday 22 March will be a public holiday.
As usual, the venue will be the Company’s Gardens in Queen Victoria Road in the city centre. And, as usual, all events linked to the Cape Town Festival will be free.
The concerts will again be accompanied by a food, arts and craft market.
Among the local artists who have agreed in principal to perform at next year’s festival are 2009 Idols winner Sasha-Lee Davids, soulful singer Chad Saaiman, reggae masters The Rudimentals, evergreen The Rockets, jazz diva Emily Bruce, the Cape Town Jazz Orchestra and popular local singers Alistair Izobel and Emo Adams.
The programme on Friday 19 March will feature a range of musical styles, while the programme on Saturday will be more youth-oriented. The Sunday programme will feature mainly jazz music while the Monday will feature our popular Community Vibrations Concert which showcases artists from our three community festivals.
Our community festivals next year will be in Atlantis (Saturday 27 February) and Muizenburg (Saturday 6 March).
Our schools workshop programme, which attracts more than 2000 learners from schools across the peninsula, will take place from 8 until 12 March.
